Excellent. The guy I bought it from said I'd need to replace it with a 16v unit. Proves that not even "experts" are always right all the time.

Thanks a bunch.

Is there a 16v oil pump (from which 16v engine) can be used to replace the oil pump in my 8v without modifications or longer bolts, deep pan, etc.? When I bought my 84 Rabbit vert, I noticed the oil light flashed some at low idle speeds, went away at about 1100RPM. Recently, it seems to have gotten ...

Yeah. no change. I'm able to see the dwell number change when I alter the f/a mix, at the green wire on the coil, so far I'm running in a range from 22.5 to 25 at that point, but at the 2 prong test port, I always get 90 there, no matter what. I removed the plastic plug and went to simple wire lugs,...

OK, for now, to heck with the test plug at the cold start injector. I'll worry about that later. So, in a fit of dammit, I went from the negative wire (green) on the coil to ground. I get 26.5 degrees at warm idle, and it bounces a bit (up to 4 degres) when revved. Do I double that 26.5 number? If s...

The new meter doesn't have duty cycle. The 90 degree reading stayed the same with the o2 sensor disconnected or connected. The 90 degree reading stayed the same when I operated the full throttle switch. It may indeed have a faulty connector, since that reading is saying it's fully on all the time. I...

Well, I went and got myself a lovely new multimeter with tach/dwell. and connected it as per the CIS instructions you pointed me to.....and as the fan went through its third, fourth, and fifth cycle, connected Red to Blue/White or Black to Blue/White, the dwell stayed at 90 degrees.....for EVER. Not...

Sure, that part is OK for an 84.5 and up, but is it the same for 1984.166 Rabbit Convertibles like mine?

OK, a little cross referencing, and I thought I found what I needed. VW part number 191906092G looked like it was the schnizzle, but it's not. Mine was built in 2/84, that part number is for 9/84 and later. Less than totally cool. Of course, this may be the time to pop the cover and see if there's a...

OK, anyone have a source for the internal transfer pump? I found one on RSJ Parts (part# 357906092C) for a measly $60, but it SAYS it only fits 1988-93 Rabbit Convertible, or 1985-88 Scirocco. While that's right handy and all, I do NOT want to order one on line, wait three days to get it, and have i...

If it keeps getting hits and posts, you'll have to rename it the Perpetual Topless Meet.
I enjoyed seeing pics of everyone's cars, and would love to see more. Of course, I HAD to show ours off.

Here's our new Raggit. Thought it belonged here. It's a good start! We got so lucky last month when we bought a complete Neuspeed suspension system with lowering springs, Bilstein shocks, 6 speed tranny, short throw shifter, hydraulic differential, ported 8valve 1.8L, 16x7 3 piece wheels, Radial T/A...

MOVED to the correct Thread.

Thanks for the welcome and the advice. I'd figured on replacing the one in the tank. For another 2 Bills...pretty soon. I replaced the fuel pump, and now need some kind of special wrench, like a strap wrench(?), to get the banjo fitting tight enough not to leak, which I discovered so I won't be driv...

OK, now that the fuel pump (external) has failed all the way....it was whining, remember? When I turn the key, it used to whine for a few seconds, car starts, not a problem. runs a few minutes, and stalls out. Not it whirs less each time the key is turned, until it whirs no more. or not much. A bloc...
